Don't complain when you have too much on your plate. You're blessed to be in this position. Thank you Trent.
Newbport very well said. I agree with you a 100% this guy right here inspired me to get my own channel up and started. I am truly blessed to run across his channel
Everything he said hit me. Especially when he says “God will allow you go through places you dont understand, just to bring you to the place where he needs you to be”. Beautiful words

"I am enough". This literally brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Tom for bringing Trent on. This was beyond impactful.
Same.
AMAZING.JUST WOW 👏👏👏
I almost shed a tear or two
That's a poor mindset. Keep thinking you are enough, and you'll never take the necessary steps to improve and better yourself. Just horrible advice all over. Jordan Peterson states the exact opposite and the world collapse if we all thought that "we are enough". We are not enough, we can always be better and it is our duty and responsibility to always be and act better.

21:50 “For me, fear is creating a known result from a situation you haven’t experienced yet.” Phenomenal Trent!

*ANXIETY is merely a call to ACTION*
Whether it is away from an emotional beating, danger, uncomfortable living situation
or towards conquering your fears and growing from the experiences
we HAVE to do something. ACTION now!
You watching all the anxiety videos today eh

I have a 2 year old baby girl and I've created a UA-cam playlist, with some of your videos with little secret notes in the comments for her to watch in the future. So I needed to thank you Tom.. By sharing your work with my daughter is my sign of appreciation.

"The foundation of all strength is pain"
In 2017 I was internally decapitated in a snow mobile accident. I’ve never experienced pain like that. It was Trent Shelton who literally got me through that. Laying in my hospital bed and unable to move, watching his videos. It really is all about mindset. Special thanks Trent and also Tom for having him as your guest🙌
Oh, Ashley, that sounds so immensely painful! I hope you are doing well now.
Erica Dean Glenn It was! But I am doing better now than I ever have in life. It made me❤️ 🙏
@@ashleyg1615 That's beautiful 😊
STAY BLESSED ❣️
In 2017 I felt so lost ,without a job in London ,very hard times ..I was listening to his motivation speech that gave me so much hope ,brought me back to my feet ..after 1-2 weeks I found the job in the best company being promoted !! We need people like him also each one of us has the power to change people lives ❤blessing and much love to all
*_Quote from Alan Moore, “In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past..."_*
Can you dumb that down for me. I've read it several times, but I'm not quite understanding it. I'm coming from a place of overwhelming stress and anxiety right now. I'm presently seeking help, as I've been "stuck" here for the better part of three years. I'm attempting to grab onto anything that will help motivate me to get past this chapter in my life. It's been extremely difficult!
Mike I just want to share some tips I have uncovered over the years to help deal with anxiety and stress.
1. Ask yourself the question do you have what it takes to deal with the next minute, the next five minutes or the next ten. Good for when you’re dealing with a panic attack.
2. Try and be the observer of the emotions you’re feeling. Don’t fight the emotion or sensation but observe it. Watch where it is in your body. Feel it. It will lessen.
3. Look at breathing exercises to help you deal with panic/anxiety/stress.
4. When your mind is whirring with overwhelming thoughtspick a word (any word) and repeat it continuously in your mind for as long as you can until the overwhelm starts to reduce.
5. If you’re having a real time panic attack start name things out loud if you can (but okay in your head too) in your immediate vicinity until the panic starts to reduce. And tap your fingers alternately on something, knees, table, steering wheel etc.
If you catch yourself starting to have a negative thought repeat the word dismiss three times and then tell the negative thought to fuck off and laugh at it. Thinking negatively is just a habit your brain has got into because of past experience and it is possible to alter that habit with work.
6. The Mel Robbins approach is to have an anchor thought and when your mind starts going down the rabbit hole to say 5,4,3,2,1 and start thinking about the anchor thought. So when she got panic about flying, her anchor thought would be something she was looking forward to doing when she reached her destination. So the if there was say turbulence during the flight and her mind started to panic she will 5,4,3,2,1 and start focusing on her anchoring thought.
7. Look up the ted talk by Dawn Huebner.
8. For severe anxiety, stress and overwhelm look into EMDR therapy or CBT Therapy.
Hope some of this helps. You can get better and will. You will because you’re looking for the answers. And that is the answer. Have faith.
@@fionacorbett1075 THANK YOU, for these tips! I truly appreciate you talking the time to write out each one! I'm going to try these! My therapist has been working with me for only a few months. I waited so long, because I thought I could do it on my own, but I couldn't. Thank you again for the help!
@@mikehiggins6362 My interpretation of that quote: When we are faced with overwhelming uncertainty, our human tendency is to blind ourselves from the truth in 2 ways: either by letting our imaginations run wild about horrific (untrue) outcomes.. or by falsely (negatively) exaggerating our past experiences to justify our fears.
This is basically the opposite of courage. We all have times where we need to act ABOVE normal human tendency. Some do it more than others. Some do it daily.
Suppression leads to depression... big aha moment for me.
Thank you Trent, and Tom thank you for this amazing interview and your continued great work.
Hmm suppressing what though?
@@kikikiki3216 thoughts, emotions, fears, worries...
@@cagekicker78 thank you
His analogies makes so much sense to me! I could listen to him talk all day!
Charles Chudabala I was thinking the same. Great analogies!!!

Hey Tom, your work ethic inspires me. You make me want to work harder. Thank you.
And a big thank you to Trent as well...my fav was "when you are scared of public speaking ,its because you are thinking about yourself ". That changes the whole perspective👌
"The way you start your day will influence your day," So many nuggets of wisdom here. Thanks Tom and Trent.
"You'll never win your war if you run away from your battles." "You are your purpose."
Heck people, just go here if you're short on time: Trent shares the impact that he wants to have on the world (38:00)
A couple of a dozen takeaways from this talk. Many thanks again Tom!
Sherman Mohr ua-cam.com/video/9SZv2ZZ-27g/v-deo.html
I think Tom was born to ask people heart reaching question, its so natural how he ties this questions together to bring out the best of his guest.
Its amazing to see Trent grow this much, His first video that blew up I was like wow thats a huge stepping stone for him. A bigger audience to get his message out. I remember back in 2012-2013 I want to say watching his videos before he got really big they motivated me! Trent Shelton has done a lot of good for my life and has for sure helped me get through times.
"I am purpose"... most profound answer to the question of "What is my purpose?" WOW! Real eye opener.
R Williams ua-cam.com/video/9SZv2ZZ-27g/v-deo.html
Great interveiw the more I watch people talk about their personal journey the more empowering it is. Never give up on your dreams.
That’s amazing what Trent says I was like wow I never thought of it the way he said it every time I hear him talk it amazes me every time
"There is a purpose greater than your pain"
Trent Changed my life I started with nothing now I have my own business, travel the world and blessing people with wisdoms thank you
Trent made me wept. What a guy.
I’m going to remember what he said every time I feel unhappy with my life.
John Rodriguez ua-cam.com/video/9SZv2ZZ-27g/v-deo.html
Yessir John I hear you!!
Hands-down one of The best episodes I have ever seen. I have watch this over 20 times and it becomes more and packed for every single time! Such a beautiful guest can’t wait to read the book
Trent was made to be a speaker. I stumbled on him a few months ago and was instantly hooked by the AUTHENTICITY of his message. He goes all out in helping his listeners and the sincerity is palpable. I like that he is a good listener. When he speaks, its engaging and every point matters. Thank you for having him Tom and you’re an excellent speaker too!
I wish I could like this video at every point that I loved in this video.

So funny and true
Trent is the epitome of my soulmate 💕
Definitely one of my favorite interviews you've done so far. Trent dropped so many jewels on a down to earth level and inspired the hell out of me.
Also no two sunrises or sunsets are ever the same. So appreciate it everyday.
I have no idea who this young man is, and this is my first time ever seeing him. That said wow, he is so deep, and inspiring, great guest, thank you. I will be praying for his mom.
He lost his mom. Trent Shelton on fb daily
23:33 That is AMAZING Trent, thank you very much. I have A LOT of stories bro, I'm a recovering addict, been sober for 7 years but I don't want to be famous, I just want to be in peace and people are so mean man, I'm tired of helping others. But I still do it...I just don't like it anymore, I just want to be in peace and alone.
So much wisdom in such a young guy. Love it!
Geeezzz , why am I tearing up?
Soooo many chill worthy moments in this interview.
“You could never fool the person looking back at you in the mirror”
“You’ll never win the war if you don’t face the battle.”
Embrace pain, baby.
Thank you , both.
I love sunrises and sunsets too. Thanks for reminding me to take time with both of them.
This gentleman has about 1/2 dozen of the most important messages I've seen on this platform thus far. Thank you Trent and thank you Tom. Wow.
I feel like every time I watch impact theory I finish the episode blown away by the guests and Tom's interviewing and listening skills, but this episode really got me.
This was a very real, authentic conversation. Thanks Tom!
Another great interview! Wishing everyone a great day.
That was really inspiring. I’m tired of leaving my gift wrapped up. Anyone else? In the words of Trent Shelton, “There’s a purpose greater than your pain.” Very powerful. Thank you.🌈✨

Be impeccable with your words! Yes... make your words count!
Thank you for having Trent Shelton on the show.
I see pain and immense courage in his eyes. Trent's demeanor >>>
I’m so stoked! I’ve been listening to this show for years and loved the direction it’s been heading but, these last few quests have been truly amazing! Thank you Tom and everyone involved!!!
“There is a purpose greater than your pain” this is probably one of the best episodes. Thank-you Tom for inviting such amazing people in your show. I listen to impact theory every morning to start my day and today was just amazing trent was so authentic and real 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tom and IT team, thank you for continuously bringing these incredible people into our lives. Last year I was faced with a traumatic event and an decision to make. My journey thru the darkness and rage led me to your channel last year. You've helped me (and my family) out of the dark place with an incredible new perspective. You and your team changed me. Thank you! To this point I haven't met your call for being active in your social world, but you have a supporter for life. -Dan Hilburn

Hey Mr. Shelton, I just want you to know that you are indeed an inspiration to me. Never quit!
This was fantastic. What a great episode!
Fabulous - influencer. We need more people like this. God bless him and his family.
“Don’t leave your gift unwrapped” hit hard!🙏🏼🙏🏼
You can see the close bonding between Tom and Trent deepen as the interview moved to finish. Beautifully done gentlemen!
Tom, a bit of feedback on the series.. most interviews have guests who can speak beautifully about their personal experience. I suggest finding experts in mindset mastery who can add a level of practical and usable tools for your audience.
Trent Shelton is one down to earth guy. I can relate to him like very few of Tom's guests. I'm not saying the others are not extraordinary people, but most of them have very inflated egos. So many successful people fall in the trap of believing they have achieved what they have because of how much effort/work ethics/focus etc they have without mentioning how haphazard events and people shape your destiny.
Thank you again to bring so much positivity to the world. To see you two just made me smile.
Thank you Trent and thank you Tom for this episode, it truly touched my heart. Trent is so genuine, every word that came out of his mouth was exactly what I needed to hear today. What a blessing, many thanks!
Hi Tom, I wanted to tell you how much I love the content on your channel! The way you interview is so natural and the guests you have are truly inspirational! I’m always surprised at how many useful nuggets of information I get from every single episode, even when I don’t think the topic will resonate with me. Keep up the great work!
"I need help is one of the most powerful things you can say" POWERFUL!!😘

I wonder if Trent has ever heard Rudy Francisco’s “Complainers” because his words on being grateful for the opportunity to have a full plate or “hard days” is so aligned with Rudy’s poetry.
“How blessed are we to have tragedies so small they can fit on the tips of our tongues.”
- Rudy Francisco
This quote changed my world and this interview was nothing short of proof that it’s true - be grateful and you’ll receive more for which to be grateful. Thanks Tom and thanks Trent!
Wow, there were a lot of golden nuggets packed into this short interview! One of my favs, for sure! Thank you Trent. Your wisdom is beyond your time and is SO timely. And thank you, as always, Tom. You continue to amaze me with your elite interview guest experiences. This video was mesmerizing and game changing.
An Absolutely AMAZING Interview, so I Am very Appreciative of this Upload.....'THANK YOU'!💜 Mr. Trent Shelton is The TRUTH and I Enjoyed his Authenticity; Realness; Humbleness AND Rawness!🙌 DEFINITELY a New 'Fan'-Trent is a DEFINITE Inspiration....WOW!💜🙏🏼
Wow, that was a very powerful interview and I loved every second of it. I always appreciate Tom's interview style as it lets the conversation flow organically and provides such a great appreciation for what his guest brings. The perspective, insights and mental re-framing that Trent shared had me taking notes! This guy is a gift to the planet, thanks Tom for having him on!
How can be people dislike a video like this? The people who dislike the video, are the ones who truly need help from it. It was a very insightful video.
WOW! 10 mins in and I am blown away! I will continue listening during my run. Forever grateful for Impact Theory!
Tom thanks for all the great interviews you do, so positive. Love this man's insight on life, and all his positive outlook on things. Gives me the courage to keep pushing everyday to achieve my goals no matter what obstacles may come. Thank you so much, and God bless.
omg I love this! I didn't know Trent was an introvert! I always watch his videos on FB! I'm an introvert too! And I have stage fright! Time to get over my fear!!!
Two of my favorites! Thanks, Tom, for such a great interview. I love, love, love your curiosity. I'm a perpetual learner, and I love that you ask the questions I want answers to. :)
Had an synchronisity experience listening to the guest. I am homeless addict and hurting emotionally. Seeing that pain...... Is a measurement of how much you Loved. closing a chapter thrusting forward to serve my purpose. Sadness 💔 is not all want that responsibility of greater being. TY for this message gives me strength to strive keep fighting. My children will hav a brighter chance of having mom in their lives. Tomorrow is never promised we're not entitled we are gifted. True peace is true happiness. It's possible for everyone. Everyone deserves kindness just I don't deserve the pain intended for. I am blessed. Protect my loved ones show love to my enemies. Surrender all my Ill intentions
My favorite motivational speaker Trent has impacted my life in so many ways

Trent your sincerity shines through.
Its almoust two years , I am watching your channel Tom and it has channged my life totally. I feel a hude gratitude to you and to your team. 👍
Another good talk..!! Definitely a good reminder for all of us to reframe our painful experiences in the present or from the past because that is the only way to not let those instances consume you to the point of anxiety and depression. To turn that negative energy and turn that into your fuel to progress and persevere.. To remember to stay humble and live with gratitude because it can ALWAYS be worse..
“Your perspective is your prison... “ good one! ☺️
